Bruce Hornsby - Mandolin Rain

Verse:
The song came and went
Like the times that we spent
Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent

Verse:
I laughed and she'd smile
It would last for awhile
You don't know what you got till you lose it all again

Chorus:
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go

Verse:
A cool evening dance
Listening to the bluegrass band takes the chill
From the air till they play the last song

Verse:
I'll do my time
Keeping you off my mind but there's moments
That I find, I'm not feeling so strong

Chorus:
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go

Bridge:
Running down by the lakeshore
She did love the sound of a summer storm
It played on the lake like a mandolin
Now it's washing her away once again...again
Whoa whoa whoa...
Yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah...
Oooooh...
Listen to...
Do, do, do...

Verse:
The boat's steaming in
I watch the sidewheel spin and I
Think about her when I hear that whistle blow

Verse:
I can't change my mind
I knew all the time that she'd go
But that's a choice I made long ago

Chorus:
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go
As she turns to go, oh hoh...
Listen to the mandolin rain...
Whoa whoa whoa whoa oh hoh...
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go
Ahhh...
Listen to the mandolin rain...

As I write this entry, I have a heart rate monitor wired on me, consisting of 7 electrodes stuck on various points on my chest and a box that the wires are connected which gathers the information. I have to wear this overnight.

Well I survived today's check-up. It started with the blood test and then I had this Echo test thingy which basically is an ultrasound just like what pregnant ladies go for. I felt like a pregnant woman for that brief time, lying on the table LOL xDD

It was after the Echo thingy that I had to have this monitor strapped on me. Anyway, later at 8ish in the morning I'm gonna head down to return the equipment. =)

Right now, I'm just having a REALLY GREAT time with my Mei-Mei!! xDD I'm playing Friends episodes in the background kinda like having a TV behind...its pretty cool xDD

Will post again later tonight! =D Ciao!~

Been chatting with Mei-Mei and somehow time flew! I swear I thought it was 2am! Or 2:30 at most but its 4:30! Its incredible how time seemingly speeds off when you are having fun!! xDD

I'm planning to wake up a little earlier then usual later...I kinda doubt I'll make it though LOL I want to wake up by about 1ish or maybe 2pm....I never succeed but this time I'll try again! xDD

Oh yeah I almost forgot, I've been meaning to rip some songs off my MLTR CD to the com...they REALLY bring back memories of when I was a kid xDD I especially love a song from them called "Something Right". It's a meaningful song about doing what is right and standing up! I'll paste the lyric here! =D

Michael Learns To Rock - Something Right

I've seen my chances come and go
how they escape me I'll never know
I've had the answers there in my hand
I just didn't understand

Now Lady Luck has smiled at me
and given me another try
to meet up with my destiny
to find a way to fly

Chorus:
I wanna do something right for once in my life
before it's too late and I give up the fight
Gonna bury my fears and save a few tears
because I did something right

I see you standing there by the door
I get the feeling we've been here before
Watching emotions like runaway trains
we shouldn't miss again

But Lady Luck has smiled at me
and given me another try
to meet up with my destiny
and do something right

Chorus:
I wanna do something right for once in my life
before it's too late and I give up the fight
Gonna bury my fears and save a few tears
because I did something right

I don't wanna sit back waiting
as I watch my ship go by
tomorrow won't wait for you and I

I've seen my chances come and go
how they escape me I'll never know
I've had the answers there in my hand
now that I understand

It has been some time since I last blogged LoL...

Tonight..or this morning rather, has been really fun AND funny! Mei-Mei and I were trying to come up with catchy taglines for Habz radio and we ended up playing with one that goes like this "Great music, Habz music!!" and we edited both our voices to sound like chipmunks LOOOL xDD It's SO fun!! Of course, Mei-Mei had a bit of an ear ache after playing the track over and over again LOL The high pitchy-ness does get to you after a while LOOL xDD

I was actually kinda sleepy in the evening when I came home from the recording today (which went really well!) but after Mei-Mei came online and we had our AWESOME conversation AND!! she DJed today!! I was SOOO wide awake from then on!! LOOOL xDD Up until now, I'm wide awake!! =D !!

Can't wait to check out Mei-Mei's blog entry!! xDD <3333333333333333333

I was browsing around YouTube yesterday. On the front page, one of the featured videos was this movie done by these two brothers about a light sabre duel...and the action was AWESOME!! What really captured me though, was the music behind it. I posted a comment asking what tracks they used, and as it turned out, it was from the soundtrack of the movie "Black Hawk Down". The song, in particular, is called "Gortoz A Ran - J'Attends". It isn't in english and it is sort of like a chant...I would classify it as new age I think...it is one BEAUTIFUL song, if you know how to appreciate it! =D It kinda reminds me of Enya's music in a way...

Whenever I hear this song, I think about lotsa stuff...I think about the past...the present...and I wonder what the future holds. I guess the future is something we never can and never will be able to predict. Imagine...imagine being able to predict what happens in the future...Life would be so dull I think...I guess its one of the beautiful things about life...its unpredictability. =)

I think I'll stop right about here...Will blog again later tonight! =D

I am not sure why, but out of all the things I could possibly do, I suddenly took out my guitar, searched for the tabs for the John Mayer song "Your body is a wonderland" and started trying to play it!! xDD Its a beautiful song to play!! The lyrics are a little..uh...well you know LOL but the music is beautiful!! =D

Anyway, I'm just chilling out....OH YEAH!! I was playing with my camera just now too! Tried to take pictures of the lights from my balcony...but both with and without flash, turns out terrible =X I guess dark photos are very tricky to take LOL

Anyway, will post another entry later today!! Adios!~ xD

The practice today went pretty well! I found out the musical the students are gonna be doing is a remake of "The Wizard Of Oz"! I really like the ending song! I have the tracks on CD to practice with, I think I'll upload that track for everyone to hear! =D

Right now my tummy is grumbling LOL Waiting for dinner to be ready! Tomorrow is TGIF!!!! I can't wait to see Mei-Mei tonight for another fun chat!! xDD Last night's chat was SOOO funny!! We were talking about "Mental Park" and about us doing a "Cinderalla" remake with the SUPER DUPER COOL GANG in it!! xDD We sure can come up with really weird yet SUPER fun ideas!! xDD I think its a brother/sister thing where we have REALLY active imaginations! LOOL =P

I'll post again later tonight! I feel like putting up a poem or some nice song lyrics! Till then!! xD Ciao!~

7:20 PM

I was gonna start by saying "I know the title is lame LOL" and that I couldn't think up one this time around so I decided to be "unique" xD However, my blog entry page doesn't show the title *slaps self* Need to add it in LOL

FINALLY my Mei-Mei came online!! xDD Missed her LOADS!!

She has a really good point...about movies....they cut all the REALLY good parts!! Even parts that are not explicit get cut out! Singapore is SOOOO strict...Don't play play LOOOL xDD Oh well...it has its good and bad points I guess!

I am SO curious to know what kind of musical is gonna be held this year in SFMS and what kinda songs I'm gonna be helping to sing xD Hopefully it'll be something...romantic maybe? Or rather, something powerful! The musical I participated in when I was in school was a comedy and it was like... "Buck Buck Golden Chicken" LOL Must be something like Romeo And Juliet..now THAT would be cool!! xDD

I think today's entry will be a shorty...I wanna go chat with my Sis!!! Catch ya'll later!! *salute!* xD

Sent Mei-Mei and Ray off at HarbourFront just now, came home and had a shower, and here I am, thinking about the past 2 days' events...It was TONS of fun!!! It was really a shame that Fabian couldn't join us but the weekend was jammed pack with fun!!

Here's a description of the AWESOME RAWKING weekend we all had!!!! xD

The weekend started with me meeting Mei-Mei at 12 and we dropped by my place so she could unpack some of her things to loosen up her load. I had planned to "display" my present for her on the sofa where she'd see it the moment she opened my room door. She wondered at the control station whether it would be a good idea to just head straight to CityHall without stopped by my place, and I was thinking "Uh oh..my plan!" So I sort of suggested that we should drop by anyway since we had lots of time.(Which we did! =D)

I hadn't mentioned birthday presents or anything even remotely close to Nicolette over the past 2 weeks when in fact I had her present all set 2 weeks ago! I wanted to really surprise her and I think when she saw her present, it was a pretty cool surprise! <333333333333333333 xDD Mei-Mei said she almsot got me the EXACT same present for my birthday!! Like brother like sister eh!! xDD <3333333333333333333333

We headed down to CityHall and met Fadhilah at about 1-ish! OH YAH!!! Nicolette and I need to buy 4D!!! LOOOOOOOOOL When walking from my place, along this little stretch of road to get to the main road, we found not 1...not 2...but THREE red $10 notes right on the floor!! $30 right there for the taking!! Mei-Mei was SOOOOOOO cute going "Is it real?!?" And she held the notes up to the sky to check and see if they were perhaps specimen notes used in advertisements Hehehehe xDD but it turned out they were the REAL deal! Legit $10 notes!! What a way to start the day eh!! xDD !! We went to Swensens at Funan for lunch together once we met up with Fadhilah as well! Nicolette had the Salmon and Mushroom Baked Rice, Fadhilah had Fish and Chips and I had the Chicken Baked Rice!! We tried to wait for Mr Fabian but unfortunately he wasn't able to join us so the three of us dug in first! We were really hungry by then! Hehehe xDD After lunch, the 3 of us walked around a little, to pass the time till Ray and Qing Wen arrived which was about an hour and a half later! We took a couple of pics and had refreshments courtesy of 7-11! xDD When it was close to the meeting time, we headed back to CityHall, took the escalator up to Raffles City and sat outside, I think it was Coffee Bean. It was either Coffee Bean or Starbucks! LOL After only 10minutes or so, the 3 of us started yawning one by one! LOOL We were SOOO comfortable!! Ray and QingWen eventually came and met us at that coffee place we were chilling at!!

We decided to be a little adventurous, and since Fadhilah had to be home by 6-ish, we took the train all together, down to Simei and checked out the mall there! Went to a pet store and window shopped around the place! It is a really awesome place I gotta admit! My very first time being in that part of Singapore LOL =P

After sending Fadhilah off, we decided to head back to the house and chill a little before dinner! Mom made Chicken Curry and "stuff" (Vietnamese Spring Rolls) LOOL =P The stuff! xDD We ate the feast and spent some time in my room, digesting the dinner! Still feeling adventurous, we decided to go for a walk, also hoping to give Mei-Mei the chance to take some awesome night-time pictures! We walked to a "nearby" 7-11 store, got some snacks, slurpees and drinks and just chilled outside. The way we all sat at the curb, considering there were pubs just around, it seemed like we all had a little too much to drink and we were sitting around on the curb trying to get fresh air LOOOOL xDD

We made it back to the house and then went for a drive to Labrador Park! We checked out the view, walked out as far as the Jetty and took in the sights AND the sounds! xD Mei-Mei tried to take some pics there which I think were AWESOME!! xDD She took this one photograph of a tree which came out SO NICELY!! =D It had a really mysterious, spooky yet cool feel to it!!

Feeling a little hot, we headed down to West Coast Park and had supper at McDonalds!! We messed around on the playground as well!! The obstacle courses RAWK!! The one thing though, I find, is that its SO not fun doing them when you are alone! You HAVE to be with friends to REALLY have fun!! xDD

As we were hanging out at West Coast Park, we were also trying to decide where else to go since it was only about 2 or 3am at the time! Mei-Mei suggested Changi Airport and to Changi Airport we went!!! xDD It was a great drive! We all got to relax in the car and I believe Mei-Mei, Ray and QingWen got to enjoy the passing lights and the soothing music playing, courtesy of Gold 90.5FM!! I know I did!! =D

For a busy airport, Changi Airport was REALLY empty at 3am! We parked at Terminal 1 and proceeded in! We were hoping to take the Sky Train to terminal 2 but the operating hours were long past so we grabbed some drinks (and Ray got himself a $2 cookie!) at a bistro/cafe just beside the Sky Train entrance!

After journeying through Changi Airport Terminal 1, we headed home to rest. Everyone was feeling bushed by the time we got home! The funny thing, however, was that once we freshened up and started relaxing, we were suddenly so awake!! LOOOOL Weird huh!
Nicolette was really bushed though so she managed to get in about 2 hours snoozing while Ray and I talked nonsense LOOOL We all got up in the end at about 4ish to watch some TV and then we soon tried to get back to sleep again.

QingWen had to leave early in the morning unfortunately but Mei-Mei, Ray and I had an awesome time still!! We went to Harbourfront for brunch/lunch, had chicken rice (WITH LOTSA CHILLI!!) and headed over to Plaza Singapura to browse around the shops!

Today, being Sunday, was a very relaxing one! After PS, we headed back to the house and just bummed around till dinner! Ray and I tried jamming together and Mei-Mei recorded clips of us being silly and crazy LOOOL xDD Ray's gotten into bass which I am fully confident he'll get REALLY good at in no time!

I just cannot believe the weekend is gone!!! It was SOO depressing when we were heading over to HarbourFront just now. All 3 of us were bummed...and we were talking about the next sleepover!! xDD It will probably be in June!! That certainly is something to look forward to!!! =P We were saying how this weekend had made us feel like we were in a world of our own where it was just the group of us and there was no such thing as time or money. It was a perfect world where we just had fun, fun and MORE fun!!! It's always a pain having to snap back into reality. =X Well I am REALLY looking forward to the June Holiday's SleepOver!!! Oh and by the way, my tongue feels SO sore. Nicolette is also experiancing the same tonguey soreness! Mei-Mei and I suspect its the chilli we ate with the chicken rice...that is some REALLY powerful stuff LOL =X It was REALLY delicious!! xDD

QingWen - Despite your injured leg, you still came and joined in the fun! Thanks so much bruddah!! Was wicked fun with you around!!

Ray - Very HARD to get out of bed....But he gave me more time to relax since Mei-Mei was trying to get him up LOOOOL xDD Thanks bruddah!! We had a wicked time over the weekend!! Cheers on that man!! June will RAWK!!!

Nicolette - This weekend is YOUR weekend! The party wouldn't even BE a party without you!! xDD Was TONS of fun!!! Got to see you in action with your camera again!! Snapping those AMAZING photographs!! Can't wait to see the snapshots of all of us LOOOL This will be one weekend to remember FOREVER!! We yawned and yawned in the train and even with THAT we had such GREAT fun!!! xDD YOU PWN!!! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MEI-MEI!!! LOVE YA TO BITS!!! xDD <333333333333333333333333333333333333333

Tomorrow is the 8th! There were days in the past week where it felt like forever and sometimes time felt like it flew by but what matters is that the 8th is tomorrow!!! xD

I suddenly have the desire to do a fresh new blogskin...and the desire to write a beautiful song....Maybe soon I'll be able to accomplish just that...I certainly hope so. I have always wanted to be able to write a beautiful song that someone would listen to and tear from. That would be an amazing feat for me. =)

Thinking about tomorrow...wondering whats going to happen...what we're gonna be laughing and joking about...whether anything silly is going to happen...whether anyone is gonna do something or say something memorable or whether we will all get to witness something together that we'd be talking about for weeks and months to come!

It certainly is funny how music can make us feel certain ways. It can make us mellow...forgiving...angry...apologetic...and so much more! It is the little things like this that we don't quite notice...The finer things in life, as some might say. =)

Maybe tomorrow night we'll all get to go up to Kent Ridge park and take the seats at the top peak and just chill there with the beautiful out-stretched view...that would be awesome! At the same time, we'd run around the huge playground area at West Coast Park! That'll be barrels of fun! xD

I just found an old MLTR (Michael Learns To Rock) album...this remix album of all their songs and it really brings back so many memories as I listen to it! The one song from them that brings me way back would be "25 minutes". I remember in primary school where the entire school would sing it together! It was incredible! =D

Found an old Phil Collins CD too! I'm ripping the CDs into my computer! He has great music! Classics, if you will! Some of his songs really bring back memories and they never die off! They truely are classics!

Ok I think i've yakked on and on long enough. LOL Tomorrow AND Sunday will be a BLAST! Will post again on Monday! Ciaaaooooo!!!

P.S HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MEI-MEI~!!!! <333333333333333333333333333 xDD
